Financial Aid
The Asheville JCC accepts applications and provides need-based scholarships to children at Shalom Children’s Center, AJCC Swim Team, JCC Kids Afterschool, and Camp Ruach. The JCC provides approximately $20,000 annually in scholarships that serve an average of 15 children per year. Scholarships can be paired with child care vouchers. Asking for financial aid can be uncomfortable, so we offer a confidential application process that is as easy and equitable as possible. If you would like to learn more about the Esther and Hyman Burstein Scholarship or child care vouchers, please contact Caroline@jcc-asheville.org.
Financial Aid Application Deadlines:
- Shalom, JCC Kids after-school, and year-round swim team scholarship applications due July 15 for the 2025/26 school year
- Camp Ruach and Tikvah and summer swim team scholarship applications due by March 1 annually
